Oracle founder Larry Ellison is not only the highest paid executive of 2007 with a compensation package topping $84 million, but he is also the owner of the Rising Sun, a five-story yacht featuring a basketball court/helicopter pad, a cinema, a wine cellar and space for a private submarine.

The young Facebook CEO is also projected by some to be the world's first hundred-billionaire.At the ripe old age of 29.

Perhaps surprisingly, Apple CEO Steve Jobs -- who Forbes lists as one of its 20 most powerful people in the world -- does not even crack the top 100. Jobs net worth is projected to be at $8.3 billion.

Forbes put 1,210 billionaires on its annual list and it employed more than 50 reporters in 13 countries who conducted interviews with candidates for the list and their handlers to project their estimated wealth.
